Hard luck. He had none of those low RPM models. I went ahead and procured a new 750 GB version  from <a href="http://amazon.com" target="_blank">amazon.com</a>.<br>

<br>The effing disk later conked up some time in Oct/Nov. In my case, this happened while transferring some PS3 game backups onto the disk (I had upgraded the console&#39;s internal HDD using the WD disk.) As much as I would admit that the frequent brown-outs occurring at the time may have taken their toll, you have just aroused my curiosity, Wash.<br>

<br>My HDD seems to have suffered some serious logical fault.<br><br> <br>
